Erfworld Empires 1.3 Game Thread

[LTDave]

Just a couple of issues:

1. Units stop movement once they enter a hex with opposing forces - you can't say fight in F6 then move to G5.

2. Units can't move in open and wood hexes in the same turn. It's (for Infantry) 2 hexes of open, or 1 of woods - no combination.

3. We haven't formally agreed on any alliance rules about stacking units together - technically the 3 Infantry you sent to Vitus should be attacking the city...

To change the rules you need to propose a change, then call for a vote - 2/3rds of active players must agree.

Otherwise, cool. Bring it on!

[Charlie]

The only problem with stacking units of two sides in a city is what happens to them when some have to die. How do we decide which units are killed?

[Crovius]

Um, we discussed that actually, to my knowledge, almost two turns ago. I remember, you even agreed that you liked my rules of how allies could work together. And really allied units in the same hex can either divide casualties up equally, or the player in charge of them (in this case Sinrus) chooses which units die.

[Sinrus]

By hiring a turnamancer from the magic kingdom, Draviston is able to force Charlescomm and Egyptalon to miss their turns. "Kingworld! Kingworld!"

Whew! I was only up by 1 in the tactical bonuses - that was a close run thing.

Whiteboard loses 5 Infantry, The Holy Empire and Draviston take 9 losses, and the survivors retreat to F9.

Spoiler: show

[Sinrus]

Dang, thought I had saved myself there. Nice job though, didn't see that coming until last turn. I lose 2 fliers, 2 cavalry, and 5 of my infantry.

Charlie, it's Crovius's turn.

No, it won't be Crovius' turn again until either:
1. Six days have passed since his last turn OR
2. All the other players have had a turn since his last turn.

I think this is all.

[LTDave]

Now it's Crovius' turn - then Sinrus, LTDave, Charlie, Azgrut - unless somone doesn't post, then we have to wait another six days.

[Crovius]

I'm bowing out of this. I can't stand such a small map. That and I'm finding the other couple of erfworld games much more in depth and creative. The fluff in this is... well, just fluff. I like the fluff of the other games. That... and I'm managing my LoC game.

Thnaks Dave for letting me test this out with you guys. Maybe next time!

And if you ever convert to GM rules let me know, I can be a great help with GMing.

[Charlie]

Can I have your cities? Or should we just divvy them up equally based on proximity?

[Azgrut]

I guess this basicly means end game . Sinrus will never be able to defeat us three.

Maybe its better to call for an erf peace and look for improvements.

[Crovius]

Or my ally Sinrus can have all my cities, since that'd even the fight.

[Sinrus]

Sorry, but I don't think so. Taking a turn is too long a process with 4 cities.
